Probably next to the table out of frame since it would be a whole block.

Just a small observation.
I have a new-ish, current gen Sony mobile phone. The camera app is quite impressive with its basic camera controls. I've occasionally read phone reviews and their associated camera performance and been impressed with the way articles have describe phone camera capability.

When I have a look at a pic taken with the phone and then review it on the phone I think gee, that's impressive but when I review the pic on my pc (27" 2k monitor) it just falls apart. I had thought that phone pics had to a large extent caught up to "proper" cameras but I guess when one is looking at a pic on a 6 inch screen one can get away with a lot.

Some company default cameras are offloading things to cloud and AI processing.
They'll do it unless you tell them not to, til they do it anyway. So progress. Wow.

Have a look at Open Camera on F-droid. It doesn't do a whole lot, but it's on device if that makes a difference.

The image quality from a sensor the size of a thumbnail will never be able to match the quality of an image from a much large sensor(10+ times the surface area), given equal technologies..

That being said, the vast majority of people only care about seeing the image on a phone screen, or maybe an iPad, so Phone Camera's are putting real Camera's out to pasture none-the-less..

People's standards are really low in general anymore, and convenience trumps quality and the effort required to learn how to use an actual camera seals their fate..
